Due to expiration dates landing on the last day of the birth month, there will be several people that will need a refresher now (to make up the missed one) and again in just a few months due to the length of the COVID extension. The team at CTI is excited about the new software they are utilizing in our classes that is allowing us to take training to the next level.”
